Morpho-Biochemical characterization of Kalazeera ( Boiss. Fedts) germplasm grown in Global temperate ecologies.

The present investigation explores the variability of populations belonging to different regions. Variability among 74 genotypes for thirty-seven traits (29 quantitative and 8 qualitative) were studied to ascertain the population structure of the . Among the agro-morphological traits, wide range of variability was recorded in tuber shape, tuber colour, seed shape, seed colour, growth habit, leaf shape, leaf colour, umbel shape, umbel colour, plant height (22.

Effect of camel milk against renal toxicity in experimental rats.

Most of the antibiotics are associated with considerable side effects. Gentamicin (GM) is one of the most commonly used antibiotics, but has significant nephrotoxic side effects. Hence, the current study is investigating the beneficial role of camel milk (CM) that ameliorate GM unwanted renal defects and dysfunctions in some experimental animals.

Protective effect of quinacrine against glycerol-induced acute kidney injury in rats.

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious clinical problem with high rate of mortality and morbidity. Currently used prophylactic and therapeutic strategies to address AKI are limited and warrant further studies. In the present study an attempt was made to investigate the effect of quinacrine, a phospholipase A2 inhibitor against glycerol induced AKI in rats.
